Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almonds, pecans, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the brown sugar, honey, and coconut oil. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and ingredients are well combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat, and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the granola mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the granola is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely. The granola will become crispier as it cools.
Once cooled, stir in the dried cranberries or any other dried fruit of your choice.
Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks.
